ABB Operation and Basic Programming

The detailed course is designed to
familiarize students with basic operation, safety and programming.
The target audience is technicians, engineers or anyone who will be
programming or editing programs on a regular basis. Anyone
intending to write programs 'from scratch' would be encouraged to
take this detailed programming course. This course has a slightly
higher classroom vs. hands-on percentage. It is open to all and is
recommended before attempting the advanced course.

Course Goal:
Students that pass the course will be required to show they are
able to:

Safely start, stop and operate the robot.

Jog the robot in all coordinate systems, and demonstrate
knowledge of when or why they would change.

Create a program that has routines, inputs, outputs,
conditional jumps or calls, and frames.

Step through the program as well as edit it.

Prospective
Students:
The target audience is technicians, engineers or anyone who will
be programming or editing programs on a regular basis. This is
above the level a basic operator would need. Students who complete
the course should be able to set up, program and operate a robotic
system with minimal outside help.

Fanuc Operation and Basic Programming

The detailed course is designed to familiarize students with basic operation, safety and programming. The target audience is technicians, engineers or anyone who will be programming or editing programs on a regular basis. Anyone intending to write programs ‘from scratch’ would be encouraged to take this detailed programming course. It has a slightly higher classroom vs. hands-on percentage. This course is open to all and is recommended before attempting the advanced course.

Course Goal:Students that pass the course will be required to show they are able to:

Safely start, stop and operate the robot.

Jog the robot in all coordinate systems and demonstrate knowledge of when or why they would change.

Create a program that has macros, inputs, outputs, conditional jumps or calls, and frames.

Step through the program as well as edit it.

Prospective Students:

The target audience is technicians, engineers or anyone who will be programming or editing programs on a regular basis. This is likely above the level a basic operator would need. Students who complete the course should be able to set up, program and operate a robotic system with minimal outside help.

Fanuc Advanced Programming

This is for the student that has already completed
the basic course or already has a large amount of experience in setting up and
programming Fanuc robots. This course will take the student through all
of the
necessary steps to integrate a Fanuc robot into a new work environment.
The student will get detailed information on what the more
advanced functions do as well as when to use them. This course
is tailored for the experienced robot user, though no prerequisite is
required. All novice robot programmers are highly encouraged to take the
basic course first. If you have any questions about which course to take
we can perform a test to determine placement.

Course Goal:
Students that pass the course will be required to show they are
able to:

Set multiple frames and describe when and why they would use
them.

Set reference points and describe the use of, and advantage to
regular outputs.

Describe when to use different Universal Operator Panel
(UOP) set-ups and how to change the robot to accept and use them.

Work with a partner to successfully set up a
robot cell. The cell must function as described and will incorporate
all the advanced features taught in the class.

Prospective
Students: The target audience is programmers, technicians, engineers or anyone
who will be setting up a robot in a new environment. Students who
complete the course should be able to set up a complete robotic cell
without outside help.

Fanuc Karel Programming

The course is designed to familiarize students with the Karel programming language. The target audience is TPP+ experienced programmers who will be developing high level applications for the Fanuc robots. It has a slightly higher classroom vs. hands-on percentage. This course is for those able to prove efficient in TPP+ programming.

Course Goal:
Students that pass the course will be required to show they are
able to:

Write Karel programs from scratch.

Understand and edit existing Karel programs.

Merge the Karel programs with the TPP+ seamlessly.

Prospective
Students: The target audience is advanced programmers interested in adding functions beyind the capability of the TPP+ programming language.
